Are you guys trying to turn me into a cuck?

I'm serious. I'm not a regular visitor to /lit/, but I've come here for recommendations multiple times. And every single book you guys told me to read turned out to be a cuck book.

The first time I came here I said I wanted to read the great Russian novelists. I was told, "Read Anna Karenina. It's the finest Russian novel there is." I read it. It's about a guy who gets cucked.

The second time I came here I said I wanted to read an American novel. I was told, "Read The Sun Also Rises. It's quintessential American literature. You'll love it." I read it. It's about a cuck.

The third time I came here I said I wanted to read some Shakespeare. I was told, "Start with Othello. One of the great tragedies." I read it. Cuck.

The fourth and most recent time I came here I said OK, /lit/, I want the best novel ever written. So many people said Ulysses by James Joyce that I bought it, and even though it was tough to read, I kept going because there wasn't any cucking. Then I get to the very end. It was about a cuck!

What the fuck, /lit/?

classic literature is full of cuckoldry because bourgeois have always been promiscuous and dishonest in their dealings, sexual propriety is just a prole meme. if you read stories about property owners from almost any time or place, prepare for an absolute deluge of cuck shit, it's unavoidable. these people do not and have never given a fuck about fidelity. just because you want to murder all the characters doesn't mean it's not worth reading though.

This is wrong. That Ulysses is the story of a cuck is clear from the very beginning of the Leopold part.

Another proof that this board doesn't read.

Tbh I can relate with these anons' frustration. Degeneracy all around. Must be one of the reasons why I like Lovecraft so much; he never mentions even sex in any of his stories. Call me a prude fedora tipper, I don't care. Authors that don't delve into these lowly vices are more enjoyable, as far as I am concerned.
